Whether you are a practicing psychiatrist or a psychiatry resident, this program offers a comprehensive review of psychiatric disorders and their treatment options for adult, adolescent, and child patients.

Developed by experienced clinicians and educators, this program focuses on the assessment and diagnosis of psychiatric disorders, as well as the various treatment approaches including psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, and other interventions.
